Rooster with a Rose “comb over”

[Greengirljmt]

Hi,
I have an Ameraucana rooster whose comb is normally flopped over his left eye. He is very handsome and the girls seem to really like him. My question is this: I have 4 other roosters and I’m wondering if Dinkus (that’s his name) should be culled because of this trait. I imagine that it obstructs his vision and that’s not a great trait to have while protecting the flock.

I have 5 roosters and 7 hens, so several roosters are going to have to be culled but I’m having a difficult time deciding whom. I might be able to keep 2. The hens are from two different hatches. About a month apart. They are 4 and 5 months old.

Thanks for any advice regarding rooster selection.

It depends on why you keep a flock. Is the primary reason to show the chickens? Or is it for eggs or the entertainment factor?

If you aren't showing your chickens, if you aren't breeding to sell perfect chickens, then cosmetic considerations would not be an important factor, but good temperament would be.
